Chapter 42.1
Heal
What my family thought of as my short vacation turned out to be the total opposite. I asked to spend vacation with my brother... and suddenly, I moved out to California and spent the next eighteen months living alone. Hindi ko nga alam kung paano ko nagawa iyon. All my life, I've been with my family. The adjustments I had to undergo weren't easy. My parents didn't approve of my decisions but they can't exactly do anything. I felt sorry for disappointing them but my mind was made up. Ayoko na munang bumalik.
Right after I landed in Ohio, I begged Kuya Theo to help me. I begged him to don't ask questions and just help me move out. I don't want to live near him. I wanted to live far away. I was a wreck then. Ni hindi ko alam kung paano ulit magsisimula. Hindi ko alam kung paano magpapatuloy.

Heal "I will miss you all.... Punta kayo sa Pilipinas. Maganda roon," I said. I immediately saw how their foreheads creased with what I said. "Is she cursing us?" "I think it means we're all going to hell?" "Or maybe it was I love you. We all know Gia can't say those words to us. Maybe in Filipino she can." I can't help but laugh. Dumating na ang iba naming kaibigan kaya mas lalong umingay. Pinagkaguluhan nila 'yong sinabi ko. They have different ideas. Natigil lang nang sabihin ko kung ano ang translation. They were all disappointed. Nag-eexpect kasi sila na I love you 'yong sinabi ko. I am actu

Moved onMom was so stressed three days prior to Kuya Theo's wedding. Siya pa 'yong mas problemado sa aming dalawa... Apparently, the dress I would wear for the wedding is big for me. Akala kasi ni Mom, same pa rin ang size ko...While in California, I kind of lost weight kaya medyo maluwag sa akin iyong damit na pinagawa. Sobrang paranoid na ni Mom kasi baka raw hindi maayos kaagad."Chill, Mom. The designer can fix it," I said to calm her down. Kanina pa kasi siya pabalik-balik ng lakad dito sa loob ng kwarto ko."He should. Immediately."Napailing na lang ako. She's not my mother if she doesn't panic as to what we would wear for literally any event we'd go to."You should've asked for

Moved onNang makabalik ako sa bahay ay agad akong dumiretso sa office kasi nandoon lagi ang parents ko pati na rin si Kuya Van. Kuya Theo's in his condo so I can't ask him directly. Ayoko rin naman kasing pumunta roon kasi malayo pa mula sa resto na pinanggalingan ko."Kuya! Can I ask something?" tanong ko nang makapasok. Siya lang kasi iyong nandoon sa loob."What?""How the hell did Austin get invited to Kuya's wedding?!"Kuya Van stopped what he's doing and looked at me."Mom and Dad were the ones who put him on the list. Okay lang din naman kay Theo at sa bride to be niya," Kuya Van said."Wow..."

Day OneAustin is here.Kuya Van lied. On purpose or not, I don't know.Right after we arrived at the hotel, I saw Austin get out of his car, too. I badly wanted to leave but Kuya Van's grip on my shoulder was so firm. Ayaw niya akong pakawalan.Right. Kailangan kong magtiis.I chose our table. Kahit pa may naka-assign naman para sa amin ay lumipat ako. I chose the farthest one. Iyong malayo sa karamihan. Sumunod naman sa akin si Kuya. I'm sure dito rin uupo sina Tyler."Sorry, akala ko 'di pupunta," Kuya Van said. Inirapan ko lang siya.Kailangan ko pang kausapin sina Mom tungkol sa pag-imbita nila kay Austin. But today's not the right time.

Day OneMom and Dad must have gotten so fed up with me sulking at home for the next two weeks because they signed me up for charity work."You're such a lazy adult these days. Do something productive," sabi ni Mom at inabutan ako ng mga papel.Well, in my defense, I haven't been entirely useless. I finished two oil on canvas paintings. I met up with Mr. Canaro and Mrs. Tan for my presentation of artworks and I even cleaned our pool area! Hindi lang nila alam 'yon kasi wala naman sila."Mom, can I ask you something?""What?""Bakit invited si Austin noong kasal ni Kuya Theo?"Nawala na iyon sa isip ko pero naalala ko ngayon nang mabasa ang pang

AssumeThe worst part about being in the same event and place as your ex is the unavoidable probability of having awkward moments. Ilang beses ko nang nakita na nakatitig sa akin si Austin. It's not making my work any easier! I couldn't focus properly... Sabayan pa ng pasimpleng panunukso nina Agatha tuwing nakikita nila na titig na titig sa akin si Austin.Wala ba siyang ibang gagawin? I thought he's a busy person now. Well, he's a busy person way before. Iniisip ko lang na baka mas lalong busy na siya ngayon.I remembered again what he said in the car. Pinipilit ko na ang sarili ko na 'wag nang isipin pero ayaw talaga mawala sa utak ko.Austin wants me back? Was he serious? And did he think he'll be able to prove himself to me again just by shamelessly staring at me?

AssumeDumiretso ako sa isang bakanteng classroom. Malayo 'to mula sa pinanggalingan ko. Nang umupo ako ay agad bumuhos ang mga luha ko. Parang tanga lang. Halos dalawang taon na ang nakalipas pero hanggang ngayon naiiyak pa rin ako... Walang pagbabago.I wiped my tears away. I'm not even sure why I'm crying now... Dahil ba hanggang ngayon nasasaktan pa rin ako? But I already moved on...I spent an hour in that vacant room. My eyes are red from crying. Ayokong magpakita sa kanila na ganito ang itsura ko... Pero wala akong choice.Bumalik ako sa mga bata. Nakayuko lang ako nang nilagpasan ko sina Inigo at Agatha."Ate Georgina!" sabay-sabay na tawag sa akin ng mga bata.Pumila sila sa hara

Drunk CallI finally decided to have my own place. Gusto ko sana na ako na ang magbayad para roon kasi may savings naman ako but my parents insisted to pay. They won't let me go if it's not them who's gonna pay for the condo unit. Medyo bothered pa ako roon ng ilang araw. I really want to be independent... Siyempre kasabay na rin doon na ako na ang magbabayad sa mga gastusin ko. But my parents were persistent. Pumayag lang sila na ako na ang bahala sa groceries ko.I am not yet at my best when it comes to cooking but I'd like to try. Wala nang Noah or Yuri na dadalhan ako ng pagkain kapag 'di ako nagluluto. Wala nang Manang Lila na maghahanda ng pagkain ko kapag nasa bahay ako. I'm on my own now. For real.I went to the nearest grocery store. Bibili ako ng mga ingredients para sa mga pagkain na kaya kong lutuin. I'll also g
